Biography
Tetsuzan Nagata was born on 14 January 1884 in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. He served as a military attache before and after World War I while serving in the Imperial Japanese Army, and he was considered an expert on Germany due to serving as the attache there on a few occasions. Nagata became a General and was one of the leaders of the moderate Toseiha faction of Japanese politics in the Interwar Years, and the rival Kodoha faction accused him of being paid off by the big corporations (the zaibatsu). On 12 August 1935, Nagata was killed by Lieutenant-Colonel Saburo Aizawa with a sword, with Aizawa claiming that he left the military "in the paws of high finance".
